Everybody knows Snake. It has assumed many forms, has appeared on every platform from cell phones to friggin' Gmail. It's a videogame constant like Minesweeper -- it just is. Isn't it about time the formula was shaken up a bit?
During last week's Global Game Jam, where small groups of developers whip up complete videogames in under 48 hours, a team consisting of Sebastian Janisz, James Montagna, Liana Sposto, Elliot Trinidad, and Jake "virt" Kaufman pooled their individual talents to create #Snake2. In this much-needed sequel, the titular snake takes to the skies, has a human hand attached to its tail, smashes through buildings, wields a machine gun, and battles a giant Butt King that fires shurikens and lasers from its anus. Naturally.
If you want to take #Snake2 for a spin, and I know you do, you can download it from the link below.

While royals do tend to be a bit foolish,that king is literally nothing but a giant bum. Is it satire or sexual objectification...or both?
For everyone's information,there was a game starring a snake prior to that one: Snake, Rattle and Roll!
I find his lack of knowledge of other snake-starring games offensive!
Sick, loving all the Game Jam stuff I've been seeing. I'm actually wearing my shirt I got at it right now. My game for game jam was "Katy Perry's Rocket Breast Inception"
